“…In rainfed agriculture, lower water productivity for CC was reported compared with other rotations (Copeland et al, 1993;Varvel, 1994;Pikul et al, 2012). Studies available on crop rotations in limited and full irrigation conditions show a similar result to the present paper, that is, less or similar impact of rotation compared with continuous cropping in yield and resource use (Schneekloth et al, 1991;Gaudin et al, 2015). Holling (1973) defined a resilient system as a system that retains its productivity following a perturbation (drought, disease, pest…).…”

“…The main reason why corn yield was less in CC than in the other rotations is confounded among the 254 mm of irrigation water applied to corn in CC while corn in the other rotations received 381 mm of irrigation, the obvious differences in the rotations (different crops and sequences), and interaction of the two. A relatively lower corn grain yield in CC vs. other rotations (C-Sb, W-C-Sb, C-Gs-Sb, …) was reported by many other researchers (Schneekloth et al, 1991;Porter et al, 1997;Erickson, 2008;Gentry et al, 2013). However, the 20% less yield that we have reported here for CC is probably mostly due to the difference in irrigation amount.…”

“…Crop rotation research in the past has mainly focused on the impact of diff erent cropping sequences on yield in dryland conditions, but little information is available on full and limited irrigation conditions (Schneekloth et al, 1991;Halvorson and Schlegel, 2012;Klocke et al, 2014). A decline in water levels of the Ogallala aquifer and the need for effi cient use of water resources in the Great Plains (Stone et al, 2002;Peterson and Bernardo, 2003;Scanlon et al, 2012) require investigation of best crop rotation systems that reduce the amount of irrigation water required while maintaining or improving crop yield and profi tability.…”

Identifying the most profitable crop rotation for an area is a continuous research challenge. The objective of this study was to evaluate 2‐, 3‐, and 4‐yr limited irrigation corn (Zea mays L.)‐based crop rotations for grain yield, available soil water, crop water productivity, and profitability in comparison with 1 yr continuous corn (CC). A field study was conducted from 2001 through 2010 on a deep silt loam soil near Tribune, KS. The study consisted of four crop rotations, that is, CC, corn–winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) (C–W), corn–winter wheat–grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) (C–W–Gs), and corn–winter wheat–grain–sorghum–soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (C–W–Gs–Sb) with irrigation limited to 254 mm annually. Grain yield of corn from the CC rotation was significantly lower, on average by 2.5 Mg ha−1, than corn yield from the other three rotations mainly due to difference in irrigation level. However, the mean yield of CC over one cycle of rotation [∼10.2 Mg (ha rotation‐cycle)−1] was significantly greater than mean corn equivalent grain yield of the other three rotations over one cycle of each rotation. Seasonal soil water usage from upper depths of the soil profile was significantly greater for CC. In this study, average crop water productivity [16.6 kg (mm ha)−1] and profitability of the CC rotation were also greater than in the other rotations. In selecting profitable rotations, producers should consider crop yield potential and value in addition to resilience.Core Ideas This research compares four corn‐based rotations from yield, resource use, and impact on environment which are crucial to cropping decision and consulting Second it addresses an area of limited water irrigation condition in which research outputs are rare. Dryland and irrigated conditions are relatively well covered, but cropping decision when there is resource which is more than dryland but less than full irrigation is not well addressed. This research result contributes to that. Third, this research is based on long‐term data that address yield of major crops (corn, wheat, sorghum, and soybean) and water use of these crops at every 30 cm of rooting depth. This information will continuously be used by researchers looking for such a data for modeling and other purposes.

“…6, pooled data). Assuming yield is linearly correlated with ET a (Robins and Domingo, 1953;Hanks, 1974;Barrett and Skogerboe, 1978;Stegman, 1982;Schneekloth et al, 1991;Klocke et al, 2004;Payero et al, 2006;Djaman and Irmak, 2012), a positive intercept should not exist due to the basal ET a associated with plant growth and not grain development. The obtained response in this research was attributed to the greater observed grain yield results under the rainfed treatment than those in the irrigated conditions at lower N application amounts.…”

“…During the winter season growing wheat lowers the irrigation requirements. Schneekloth et al, (1991) reported that crop which is irrigated with 6 inches, leads to sowing of maize followed by wheat produced 8 % higher maize yield than following the maize in rotation. Crop rotation with irrigation facilities lead to take higher time than solo crop.…”
